Default New Tire Suggestions???
My 2001 Kawi 500r is due to have its rear tire changed. Now I was reading some stuff about upgrades for this bike and the first thing recommended was a better tire. now I am not going to try to upgrade this bike I just figured that since i had to replace it anyway I might as well get a nice one. Any suggestions????
